[webkit-dev] Slave lost on SnowLeopard Intel Release (Build)
Hi, I realized that the build was 13 hours behind and wasn't making any progress in compiling r79464 so I force stopped the build but then the slave got lost along the way. In the retrospect, I should have been more careful. I apologize for any inconveniences caused by this but could someone please restart the bot? - Ryosuke ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
[webkit-dev] OT : interview inquiry about WebKit
First of all : sorry if you believe this message is not appropriate. My intention is not to disturb you. My name is Guillaume. I work as a French journalist for Clubic.com. I am coming to you because I'm currently writing a paper on WebKit. We got to speak to various people at Mozilla, Opera Software or Microsoft but never had a chance to draw a clear picture of the WebKit engine even though its adoption seems to be growing fast lately. Basically, the idea would be to tell our readers about the history of the project and how the implementation of WebKit differs in Safari, Chrome, smartphones...Also it would be nice to understand more clearly how webKit differs from Gecko, Trident or Presto... I was wondering if a representative of the WebKit community would be likely to answer some of my (non-technical) questions? Thank you very much PS : Again sorry for publishing a message here. I tried to contact the mailing-list owners but did not get any answers from them -- *Guillaume B* ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
[webkit-dev] Fwd: Leopard Debug
-- Forwarded message -- From: Ryosuke Niwa ryosuke.n...@gmail.com Date: Thu, Feb 24, 2011 at 9:01 PM Subject: Re: [webkit-dev] Leopard Debug To: Adam Barth aba...@webkit.org Cc: Adam Roben aro...@apple.com, webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org I support your proposal. While it's sad that we have to lose test coverage due to the 32-bit limit, I have to admit that having Leopard Intel Debug (Build) as a core builder isn't adding any value at the moment because it hasn't been able to build for quite a while. I think we should make it non-core at least for now until we can figure out how to fix the 32-bit debug build. - Ryosuke On Thu, Feb 24, 2011 at 2:59 PM, Adam Barth aba...@webkit.org wrote: As far I as I can tell, Leopard Debug is not consistently green: http://build.webkit.org/waterfall?show=Leopard%20Intel%20Debug%20(Build) In fact, it's been failing to build much more often than not for an extended period of time (i.e., several weeks). Based on these observations, it should not be a core builder. We can add it back to the set of core builders when it's consistently green again. To be concrete, shall we say building cleanly for a week?

WebKit is made by several companies, everyone contributing to make one great engine. I suggest you to contact someone at each big contributors: Google, Apple, Qt community, GTK community (not on this mailing list though :)).

Apparently WebCore just keeps growing! Sorry for the trouble. -Adam ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev

Yeah, I think someone restarted the slave. - Ryosuke On Fri, Feb 25, 2011 at 12:34 AM, Adam Roben aro...@apple.com wrote: On Feb 24, 2011, at 4:11 AM, Ryosuke Niwa wrote: I realized that the build was 13 hours behind and wasn't making any progress in compiling r79464 so I force stopped the build but then the slave got lost along the way.

We use lighttpd only on Windows. It's been on our long-term TODO list to use apache on Windows again, but getting it to work on Vista/Win7 has proven tricky.
